I think part of the juxtaposition in the Obama candidacy and the Clintons’ candidacy is how they treat their listeners.

I want to use the candidate-forced crowd chant as a method of comparison.  Check out these two speeches; one from Obama upon losing New Hampshire, and one from Hillary on the stump.

Both of them start up chants–or try to–that sum up their attitudes.

Obama, around 9:30 in this video:

Yes We Can

Hillary, at about 2:1o in this: 

Will you Help Me? 

Again, and I’ve made this point before: there is no place for me, or you, in Hillary’s rallying cry, except for accessories to her and what she wants to do.  We are the focus of Obama’s chant.

We need this one.
